SuperLag | Nice. I do an upgrade this morning, and now X won't start... I'm stuck in a loop of the system trying to start X. However, when I send Ctrl-Alt-F* to the VM, to try to boot into console and look at logs, it keeps trying to start X | 16:43 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: Boot from your Live image, chroot in, smash your .Xauthority and try it again. | 16:43 |
SuperLag | SonikkuAmerica: refresh my memory... is that in ~? | 16:44 |
SuperLag | the .Xauthority file, that is | 16:44 |
SonikkuAmerica | Yeah (your home folder) | 16:44 |
SuperLag | got it. | 16:44 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: You can also mount your drive in a fileman and smash it there and reboot without your live image. | 16:45 |
SuperLag | SonikkuAmerica: How do you do that? (since it's a VM, whose drive is a .vmdk file) | 16:47 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: VBox, VMware or QEMU? | 16:47 |
SuperLag | SonikkuAmerica: VMware Workstation 9 | 16:47 |
SonikkuAmerica | I dunno how to work VMware, but find a way to mount your ISO file or written media and boot from it (VMware should have those options). | 16:48 |
SuperLag | SonikkuAmerica: I'm familiar with how to boot from the live/install media... as that's how I installed in the first place. It was the mounting the drive in fileman that I'm not sure about. | 16:49 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: You should be able to do that from your Live session. In Unity, open Nautilus and look on that left pane for your drive (XX.X GB Filesystem). Then go to /home/$USERNAME/ on that drive. | 16:50 |
SuperLag | Yeah, so no matter what, looks like I still have to boot from the live media. | 16:51 |
SuperLag | No problem. | 16:51 |
SonikkuAmerica | Yeah. | 16:51 |
SuperLag | I just thought you were saying there is a way to do it from the host system | 16:51 |
SuperLag | (without needing to boot live media) | 16:51 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: There is, but you seem to indicate no matter what it always tries to start X | 16:52 |
SuperLag | yeah | 16:52 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: Log into a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7]), then [ rm -rf ~/.Xauthority ] and reboot | 16:52 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: You may be able to do it in recovery mode too | 16:52 |
SonikkuAmerica | SuperLag: Drop to a root shell from recovery, and run [ rm -rf /home/$USERNAME/.Xauthority ] and reboot | 16:53 |
SuperLag | SonikkuAmerica: got it. However, it didn't fix the issue. | 17:04 |
SuperLag | same symptoms | 17:04 |
SonikkuAmerica | Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... | 17:04 |
SonikkuAmerica | Hmm... | 17:05 |
goaulds | just eat some fine ratatoiulle, now its time to code some white lines | 17:20 |
SuperLag | looks like X is segfaulting on libpixman | 17:36 |
